There are many things I don't miss about going to #church. One that came to mind today was the sound systems.

At some churches I attended as a child, there was some belief that to have the system at anything other than maximum was an affront to #God. It was extensively loud. It caused auditory pain. Covering my ears was considered disrespectful. My complaints of pain fell on deaf ears.

I believe this is why I've had #tinnitus for most of the time I remember.
